Gray's prestige on this continent is indeed at its highest level ever, as Count Grugrew said. Not just the pinnacle of Gray's personal, but the pinnacle of humanity. Although he is not actually human.

On the fifth day of entering the Lion King's Capital, the second batch of food arrived when the small amount of food that Irene had brought from the White City was about to be distributed. The grain sent by the Duchy of Bert was accompanied by Shelley and his party.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Shelley flew into Gray's arms, hugged him tightly, and did not let go no matter what, he couldn't get enough of it.

"Hopefully I'll be able to actually touch your face one day, and as the story goes, there should actually be a kiss scene at this point. ”

"Maybe you don't like it. ”

"No, I'll love it!" said Shelley, swearing.

In the crowd, Gray also saw Camilla, who was wearing a gray armor similar to Gray's. Everyone was amazed by her beauty and heroism.

"I've got my father's permission to become a female knight. I am willing to pledge my allegiance to you and become a member of the Knights of the Silver Moon. ”

"But you're not good at fighting. ”

"It doesn't matter, my father has arranged for me Bert's best knight as an entourage, and he will be by my side, protecting me, and teaching me. Until I can survive on the battlefield on my own. ”

The knight in armor, who was standing behind her, slammed his breastplate and saluted Gray.

Shelley stood aside and pouted.

Vivien whispered in the black cat's ear, "I think this is another shameless little goblin. ”

"Why do you say 'again'? Who else do you think?"

"Forehead ......"

Gray was still hesitating, and everyone around him was watching him.

After a pause, Camilla continued: "The Duchy of Bert does not need the Paladins to repay the food, we are not short of food, nor are we short of money. But we lack glory. And Camilla lacks a different life. Please give us what we want. ”

With that, she got down on one knee.

Gray turned his face sideways to look at Shelley, whose brow was furrowed and water, but still pretending to be absent-minded.

"Gray. The black cat whispered, "I suggest you promise her." If you want to go further, you need the support of the royal family. Bert's 'Princess' is your knight, and this is undoubtedly a covenant that is more reliable than anything else. ”

"But we don't need allies!!!!

Ignoring Vivien's complaints, Gray replied softly. "I think Shelley would be unhappy if I agreed. ”

"That's it!" Vivien quickly echoed.

"Rest assured, Gray, I have confidence in you. Shelley's unhappiness was only temporary. After all, nothing can happen to you and Camilla. ”

"So confident in me?"

"Yes, very, very confident. ”

Gray listened in a daze, but he drew his sword, tapped it lightly on Camilla's shoulders, and whispered, "I accept your request." From now on, you belong to the Knights of the Silver Moon. ”

It's not just the Duchy of Bert that wants to make an alliance with Gray.

The day after the first grain from the Duchy of Bert arrived, King Barnett III of the Kingdom of Allen arrived in the Lion Capital with the grain, the mission, and his eldest son.

He knelt down on Gray's knees in Pierce's Cathedral, kissed Gray's hand, and made his request to Gray: "Dear Paladin, I, Ruler of Allen, Barnett III willingly submit to your light. What you want, I want, what you hate, I hate. I ask for your asylum, and I ask you to let my eldest son, like Prince Bob of the Sharp family, be your servant. ”

"Another covenant. The black cat sighed softly.

Gray glanced at Barnett III's resigned, watermelon-headed, immature young man, and said to Barnett III, "But I'm not sure if he's kind and upright, and we've only met for the first time today." ”

Barnett III looked up and said, "If he is not good and upright enough, teach him." From today onwards, I give him full authority to you. It is up to you to determine whether his actions are ethical and doctrinal. ”

"Well, I agree to your request. Gray agreed softly.

"Thank you, Lord Paladin!"

The black cat said, "The kingdom of Isaac is in your hands, and Prince Bob is your servant." The heir to the throne of the Kingdom of Allen is also your servant. Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Duchy of Bert is a knight of your Silver Moon Order. The king of the Feders Kingdom is your own canon, and it has nothing to do with the Holy See...... Twenty-three countries, you have already held four. ”

Like dominoes, Gray's snowball is getting bigger and bigger.

There is one kind of covenant seeker, and another kind of arbitration is sought.

"The Kingdom of Cecil is stationing troops on our border, intending to invade our country!

......

"The Kingdom of Bivis requests the Paladin, in your name, to shelter Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess in order to avoid a possible war for the throne. ”

......

"The Principality of the Iliad asks the Paladins to pay attention to the situation that is becoming dire east of the Bilint Mountains. ”

......

And, of course, there are accusations.

"The House of Augures in Harvey is being persecuted, and we are asking the Paladins to pay attention to us. His Majesty the King of Eli used his power to betroth a sixty-year-old woman to our heir, with the intention of making us heirs of the natural appoint. ”

There were also temptations, especially visitors from the north.

"His Majesty the Emperor of the Gustav Empire is watching what is happening here, and His Majesty the Emperor has invited you to visit our Imperial Capital, Lord Paladin. We will welcome you with the warmest ceremony. ”

The black cat whispered: "The Gustavus Empire is the largest empire in the north, with the most powerful military, and it is also the seat of the Holy See, and it has a vital interest in the Holy See. They don't seem to intend to stand firmly on the side of the Holy See, but they are also not so prone to bowing their heads and surrendering. ”

"The Lombak Empire wants to know the Paladin's attitude towards the North-South trade. ”

The black cat whispered: "The Lombak Empire is also a big empire in the north, further north than the Gustav Empire, the sworn enemy of the Gustav Empire, a nomadic country, and a strong military. Already semi-barbaric. The Holy See's power there is almost gone, and their faith seems to be demonic. The biggest headache for them was that the Gustavus Empire blocked their trade routes with the southern states. ”

Although Gray sent invitations to only twelve countries, thirty-five missions came. In addition to the missions of all the countries on the continent, there were also a few missions that had skipped the complaint of the lord on top, as well as several northern barbarians.

There are even two elven missions, as well as a dwarven mission.

"The Blood Elf Queen hopes that the Paladins will support our excavation of the ruins of Krimasa, and you will receive rubbings of all the excavated documents in return. If you can read it. The Blood Elf Emissary said proudly.

"The Wood Elf King wants to know the attitude of the Paladins towards the evil elven trade. The Wood Elf Messenger was equally proud.

"The Hammer Dwarven Empire feels that the Paladins may need some new, better weapons to equip their armies. The Hammer Dwarves are willing to establish a good and long-term arms trade relationship with the Paladin. The bearded, hook-nosed dwarven envoy said.

Of course, there is also the goblin merchant who came out of nowhere: "We have some really good new products, maybe the Paladins will like it!

And that's not even counting the missions of the various chambers of commerce.

Each of the missions, to a greater or lesser extent, expressed their willingness to give Gray food support, and they all had their own different demands. Obviously, it is not as simple as hoping that the paladin will repay the grain in time, or collect a little interest. Luckily, they could promise many times more food than Gray actually needed. This gives Gray a pick, as well as room to bargain.

Regardless, the information was enough to make Gray anxious. It's like someone suddenly stuffing the whole world into your head. On the surface, it is just a simple land, but it is inhabited by living people. Everyone has their own life, their own thoughts, their own joys, sorrows, and sorrows. Any one of your decisions will cause a sea change, and you have to think about it carefully, and at the same time, you can't really know the situation of each and every one of them.

Not to mention humans, even the lich's brains are starting to run out of resources.

These are still only on the surface, and in private, there are some shady ones who have also been found.

Andrew said, "The Mage Alliance wants to get to know each other better. You know, I'm the chief archmage of the Mage Alliance, and now that the news of my service to you has spread, they've come to me. Hopefully we'll pull the strings. There are also the Mercenary Alliance and the Adventurer Union, they also mean the same thing. ”

Jones said, "My dad said ......"

"Isn't your dad me?" asked Gray.

Helpless, Jones could only emphasize: "I mean the one who gave birth to me." ”

"Okay, you go on. ”

"My dad said he wanted to know what the Paladin-Master thinks of the Bloodline, after all, I'm in the service of the Silver Moon Knights. Perhaps this will be a turning point in the relationship between the Bloods and the Holy See. There are also some other races who ask him to ask, goblins or something, in short, a lot. ”

"So Master Jones is the pride of the Bloodline again?" Dora exclaimed.

"I don't think so. Jones said with a blank face.

Except for the Lich, Titans, and Dragons, who don't take humans seriously at all, they all seem to have come out with a little bit of wind.

......

All kinds of information came flooding him, and Gray felt like his brain was about to explode, but he also smiled happily.

He said to the black cat: "I feel that the world is many, many times more wonderful than I first imagined. ”

"Yes. The black cat replied softly, "This world has always been wonderful, but it lacks the eye to find wonderful." ”

"So we still have a long way to go!

"Hiss——!"

The black cat looked at the two fools helplessly and smiled with satisfaction. With so many things happening and so many roads traveled, this lich is still the same as when he first watched a knight drama. Still the same...... Foolish.
